Brace your ethanol...Melbourne winter is coming

3 minutes to start car this morning

May be seriously considering potentially thinking about possibly switching back to petrol for now

  • Like 1

we all had a lego box as kids.

but shiiiiiit.

have you seen how expensive that shit is nowadays!?

i started asking for star wars lego for xmas.

keep an eye on the kmart sales this stuff gets turned over once a year and Kmart clear theirs for 50-60% off.

last one I got was:

down from 700 to 200

want the death star next, but really hanging for the Ghost busters one coming out this year

Coldest morning since September last year. Some parts reached sub-zero. I think CBD was 4.x degrees; and I think they said Croydon (close enough) was pretty close to zero iirc.

For a brief instant considered delaying e85 tune... realised I'm getting a dual map tune anyway, will just run 98 more often in winter if cold start isn't being ideal.

Speaking of Lego, friend linked me this the other day:

And yeah, the Death Star in lego always looks impressive.

True dat at expense; yet I saw people had limited edition Millenium Falcons which cost around $600, now going for like $3000 (some guy sold his used set for $2500 lels).

Well yeah, I don't think he is gonna plumb it back for now (re: screamer).

How he is going to fit that into the 5in cat, I do not know. Unless he runs it direct to the body of the cat itself. I believe ARTZ had that done.

But my car cannot be made to 'look very sweet' by the efforts of one man alone.

It will most likely require the efforts of three men, namely scotty, artz, and aaron by the way of his guard roller and general "greg don't do stupid shit" advice.

dont be a top bloke, throw some 225s on a 10 and slam it

Hrmmm I haven't had a cold start issue yet with my e85

We shall see over the coming months though

Only cold start issue I ever had on e85 was due to the fact that for some reason my haltech stopped the fuel pump when cranking (only cranking)

Because...

????????

lemme guess your both running IDs?

Start ya bastard not work?!?

Probably, but it would be started by the time I remove the air filter. I'm mostly daily driving these days and can easily switch back with laptop; 98 unleaded never has these issues.

Just a shame I lose my awesome midrange :(

I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

And I don't mean the can I mean shouting it.

If not try the Marty mcfly trick bang your head on te wheel.

Or try this

Interesting...I know fk all about tuning so I wonder if I can play with a copy of my tune and produce something that doesn't blow up my engine!

ive read a few articles mentioning the same amount.... maybe it could work.

id be taking it back to tuner and retuning in the cold tho....

yeah Trent kept my car overnight and tuned it on cold morning...was actually pretty good....it would fire up and die often...but at least it fired...i know some wont even fire...

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
